We believe small businesses are at the heart of our communities, and championing them is worth fighting for. We empower small business owners to manage their finances fearlessly, by offering the simplest, all-in-one financial management solution they can't live without.
Wavers are a special breed. We could write a novel on our award-winning culture and what makes us, us. However, weâd rather just show you. Take 1 minute and 48 seconds out of your day to get a quick glimpse on why you should join us.
About the Product Content team
Reporting to the Product Content Strategist, youâll join a diverse, cross-functional group of researchers, designers, and creatives on the Product Design team. This is an opportunity to join our small but mighty (and growing!) Product Content team in its early stages.
Youâll work with a fantastic group of people who have fun and look out for each other while delivering value directly to small business owners. We move quickly, break down boundaries across products and operations, and look to create scalable, simple solutions to complex problems.
About This Role
The Product Content team is looking for a writer to help craft the language and narrative for Waveâs suite of financial management tools. Contributing to a product team of designers, product managers, engineers, and data analysts, youâll create clear, concise content to guide users across multiple channels and touch-points (including emails, notifications, and navigational and instructional elements).
How Youâll Make An Impact
Youâll help small business owners across North America feel empowered and in control of their financial future by communicating complex information in a simple, friendly way. You offer a content perspective throughout the development process to drive consensus and improve the overall experience.
What Youâll Do
- Partner with designers, developers, researchers, and product managers to deliver compelling product content.
- Collaborate on projects across the entire design lifecycle and multiple product launches.
- Write and edit content across multiple channels, including email, landing pages, and notifications.
- Distill complex information into simple, concise language.
- Write in Waveâs voice and style, incorporating our editorial and tone guidelines, to ensure consistency across platforms.
- Advocate for our users and recommend content approaches to influence strategic decisions.
- In collaboration with product designers, explore content possibilities to deliver the best experience and balance user needs with business goals.
- Leverage insights and data to support content recommendations, and continually iterate and refine your work.
You'll Thrive In This Role If You
- Have professional writing experience. This is not a marketing or traditional copywriting role: Previous experience in a UX writing or technical writing role is a big plus. If you have other writing or UX experience that you think translates well, weâd love to see your work!
- Have excellent writing and editing skills (this probably goes without sayingâgrammar nerds welcome!).
- Are an exceptional communicator. You have a collaborative approach and enjoy working together with different people and functions.
- Can prioritize and work with initiative. Youâre comfortable with flexibility and enjoy having diverse responsibilities.
- Have a growth mindset. You care deeply about your craft and are continually looking to hone your skills. Youâre open and receptive to feedback.
- Can provide an online or PDF portfolio to help us learn more about how you think and write.
